ROVE - R2-4K DUAL

I researched dual dash cams for nearly a week a cpuple months ago. I was originally looking at the Viofo like everyone recommended but after some deep searching of what sensor and versions of novatek are in each. The one I wanted was out of stock. I found Rove R2-4K dual to be one of the newest versions of Sony Starvis 2 and novatek. Much newer than the standard R2-4K and R2-4K Pro. The reason, I do more night driving than day in my car and this matters for capturing license plates at night. They sell a hardware kit for it but I hear Toyota will void electronics warranty if anything happens if you hardwire to the fusebox. But recently I saw they did this to someone who had it wired into the 12v glovebox outlet with the adapter as well (which doesnt give you parking mode). The Haichi kit might be a smarter way to hide it on them but unless you remove everything related prior they will see mounts and your wiring. That being said, having the dash cam is more important that worrying about something going wrong IMO. Revert to stock if you have to take it in for electrical issue and maybe hide stuff during service calls so they dont have an opportunity to take notes :)

I have the Rove R2 4K Dual. I spent a lot of time researching. But I know the Dual kit has one of the newest camera specs on the market. That one does not unfortunately. Starvis 2 is important for night quality reading plates. The novatek version also makes a difference. Had no issues with my rove yet

The r2 4k, r2 4k pro and the r2 4k dual are three different specs. The dual is the newest specs. Works great love it but the pro isnt as good as the dual.

I got this with the hardwire kit. very nice dashcam and easy to do yourself. took about 45 minutes! https://a.co/d/ijaKqBN

I use the Rove R2-4K Dual for both my Rav4 and Sienna. It’s been great for me.

We have this one, but it plugs in to the cig-style outlet at the back (I think you can also usb-c it with an adapter). Got it because I didn't want to do any wiring. [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D6J5B98H](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D6J5B98H)

I purchased the R2 4K dual which has the starvis 2 with discount for 339dhs. Rove has more reviews that viofo but still a good brand. Installed the rove myself, hid the wires easily. Lots of guides on it. Just the rear has a wire shown as it needs some lenght to open the rear door given its an suv. Will be more neat for a sedan. No need to pay stupid prices like 1K or more. U can easily manage installation on ur own.

Nice but still its a hefty price to pay though for all that. Yeah i wasnt referring to your Rove, I specifically mentioned Rove 4k which i purchased that had starvis 2. U can refer to my original comment. For parking mode there is a seperate kit to purchase for the rove that needs hard wiring.

The A229 pro has been good to me. The app is not great but works. Have one for my daily driver and my wife's car. My other car I've been using the ROVE R2-4K DUAL Dash Cam. Micro SD card brand and type is equally important. I didn't use the micro sd card that came with the rove. I tend to stick to the Samsung Evo line or SanDisk High Endurance Video line.

I'm using a 256GB card (Sandisk High Endurance, item code SDSQQNR-256G-GN6IA) , so I cannot speak to anything larger being supported (but I do see others have). I've had the camera for roughly 7 months now (bought 2 of them on Amazon and with deal of the day discount, got them for $185)and I am really happy with them. The phone app isn't bad but could be better. I still use an older cell phone with the Torque app installed and use the track recorder function (I have an obd2 bluetooth adapter that interfaces with it and I have extra gauges as overlays for it) for a secondary dash cam, but it's nice to have the features of a dash cam with great night vision recording, something that a Galaxy Note 3 phone doesn't do well. 🤣 Overall the A119 is a great dash cam. I have one in my car and have been trying to convince my wife to let me install the second one I bought in her car because these days I really do believe that everyone should have a dash cam in their car. For my Firebird I went with a ROVE R2-4K DUAL Dash Cam (front and rear camera) that I'll be installing in the spring. That car already encountered a hit and run when it was parked and I wasn't in it, so I'm a little paranoid about that happening again.

I went with # ROVE R2-4K DUAL Dash Cam Front and Rear, STARVIS 2 Sensor, FREE 128GB Card Included, 5G WiFi - up to 20MB/s Fastest Download Speed with App, 4K 2160P/FHD Dash Camera for Cars, 3" IPS, 24H Parking Mode $127 on Amazon. Mainly wanted it for proving fault in an accident. Works fine. Nice and compact. Barely noticeable inside the car. My friend recently installed a couple for his kids and helped me.

I went with the rove r2-4K dual. It’s front and rear. Ended up getting the hardwire kit for it too

I also use this. I have it in my WRX, my wife has it in her Kia, and my mom has one in her forester

I got the ROVE R2/4K from Amazon. Cheap, works well, high ratings

I have the Rove R2-4K Dual. Works great. No issues so far with heat.

Rove r2-4k dual dash cam. Comes with 128 gb card…is 4k. Pretty awesome

I'm using [this one](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D6J5B98H?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title), ROVE R2-4K dashcam

I really like and have the ROVE R3 in my car. I also installed the ROVE R2-4K DUAL in my wife's car and it does a good job. These camera's work best with the hardwire kit. I've recommended the R2 to several friends and so far no complaints.

Something about this angle is unsettling. Anyway, a very nice budget cam: ROVE R2-4K DUAL Dash Cam Front and Rear, STARVIS 2 Sensor, FREE 128GB Card Included, 5G WiFi - up to 20MB/s Fastest Download Speed with App, 4K 2160P/FHD Dash Camera for Cars, 3" IPS, 24H Parking Mode Always on sale, replaced my shitter cam last week. My homie with an integra loves it as well, just did his. https://preview.redd.it/007coxu1g2df1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a5c7446ab4c8d256a388b775e93ef348c5b83750 I know most people get the VIOFO one or something like that but it’s always like $300.

Features you should care about: look for buffered parking mode (so it saves the 5–15 seconds before/after a bump), solid heat tolerance with a supercapacitor since batteries puff in hot cars, built-in GPS with speed plus easy clip export (in case you care about getting clips), and a CPL filter to cut windshield glare. Also check if it includes hardwire kit support with a low-voltage cutoff so you don’t drain your battery. For reccs-I always recc everyone the [Rove R2]( https://x.com/jamaxo97324/status/1980243574534074742) because its simple to install and use based on my experience. Just don’t go for some no-name dash cam, they’re cheap but a major headache in the long run

I bought the rove r2 4k dual camera.has a small screen but app to phone and even comes with micro sd card. It was $150 on amazon.

Nice wagon. Picked up a Rove R2-4k Dual for my Q5 along with the hardwiring kit. Didn't know Audi offered one.

I bought a Rove R2-4k Dual for my Q5. I tried their hardware kit but that didn't work well. I ended up getting a cable that taps the rain sensor and the rear view mirror. Works great.

If you don't want parking mode, you can install any dashcam that plugs in usb-c. Tucking the cords isn't hard, just takes some time and planning. I have this one, no complaints. It's always $100 on sale so this is just the normal price. https://a.co/d/iiJEaKC

I got the Rove R2 4k dual after my accident. I love it! https://a.co/d/6KJh4K3

I got this one https://a.co/d/9clIy5e and I love it.

I use rove 42k dual dash cam I like it

I was in the same boat, had a cheap dash cam that only recorded in weird 1-minute clips and constantly corrupted files. I switched to the [Rove R2-4K](https://amzn.to/4nL7JR7), and it’s been solid. It records super clear video (4K front), loops automatically, and saves impact footage with the G-sensor. It’s easy to set up, supports big SD cards (up to 512 GB), and you can pull clips to your phone over Wi-Fi. For around $100, it’s probably the best “set it and forget it” dash cam I’ve tried.

I have a Rove R2-4K dual dash cam with a front & rear. They have a hard wire kit that was easy to connect. I have the rear just dangling, I haven’t decided if I’m going to use it since it supposed to go in the middle and can’t and the view is off. I bought them for myself, my wife and my 3 kids and everyone I Loves them.

I’ve been using the Rove R2 dual for about a year now, and I chose it mainly because of the price. Plus, it’s great that it doesn’t automatically upload to the web like some others. That way, I can keep everything private. https://a.co/d/860knBC

This one always dies in the heat during parking mode. Wouldn't recommend it for that reason.

I use this one and its mounted on windshield behind the infotainment screen. the cord is sticky tied to dash down to the power sockets. I really like it and its out of the way. Nice cam as well with gps and speed and excellent display.

I have a Rove R2-4K Dual, and since I don't have a sunroof, installation was a breeze. I shot the rear cam cable down the center of the roof behind the headliner (the roof console and rear dome light are easy to remove), then ran down the A pillar to get power. The front one tucks nearly ahead of the rear view mirror. I also got a polarizing filter for the front one, which helps clarity a lot. Image quality is pretty good, but I do need to switch fuses so it's on in "sentry" mode, just in case.

Caveat- I don’t know your budget and I’m not a dash cam expert. I picked a model with an image sensor that I knew was good from watching YouTube comparison reviews last year. I got mine with their polarizing filter on sale for $142 with tax after a coupon. My pick was ROVE R2-4K DUAL Dash Cam Front and Rear.  I’m also copying the comment above you as I thought it relevant. ‘Soggy Parfait’ suggested to me “ Dashcams are useful no matter where you are in the world. I have a dashcam installed at day 1 of getting a car. Check r/dashcam for recommendations. Personally I get the Viofo A129 Plus Duo but I think there are newer models that are better.”

Yes. Very good camera. You will need the longer USB cable Rove offers for it though. Highly recommend hardwire kit for 24/7 recording as well.

Not true. You can also download the video to your phone through the app. The transfer speeds are miles ahead of the standard R2-4K.

I recently got the Rove R2 for mine. Works well and I’m pretty happy with it. I haven’t hard wired it. ROVE R2-4K DUAL Dash Cam Front... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D6J5B98H?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Using rove front and rear, happy with it so far

Mine is not hardwired https://a.co/d/6n6IaVf

That's the one I got, works well enough.

This is just for the front camera? It took all of 15 minutes to run power through the headliner, down the A pillar, and to an add a fuse adapter. The back camera is what took a good hour to route through the hatch conduit and all the way to the front camera. I have the Rove R2 4k dual with the hardwire kit. Works great. No complaints. Also not a sales pitch. I just haven’t used other dash cams so can’t speak to them. Can’t post any pictures. Thanks Tiguan subreddit config.

I have been really pleased with my Rove 4k dual. Does front and back and was just on sale recently for $100

Mount angle looks weird imo from operations perspective. You can get Rove dual with free memory card

Get it off on Amazon and fix it yourself. Using Rove Dual channel so back and front is covered and it’s been great so far. AD over here and as long as you’re not using it unless for insurance purposes or to hand footages over to the Police, it’s for your own peace of mind should the worst happen.

Women drive here. Depends how your door swing (upwards or outwards sideways). If it’s upwards like a sedan, you just have to fit it nicely around the windshield edges with the tool. With Rove, they gave a nice firm 3M stickers so it was easy for me to do the wiring for front camera but my door swing outwards sideways so needed it to be done through internal bits which I wasn’t confident to do on my own so took to the nearest garage. It’s really super simple.

Have the same unit, love it.

Rove, we have about 4 of these one being the new dual front and back. Don't just have one in the front, try to have a rear one as well. I was rear ended in April, and the guy accepted responsibility, but once he called his insurance his story changed, thank God I was driving my Tesla and had enough footage to fight his claim, after reviewing my video his insurance accepted full liability for the incident.

I have the Rove 4K Dual and it works just fine behind the rear view mirror

I have the Rove R2-4K dual pro as well as the Rove hard wire kit and have had zero issues with it

I always have both. Try the ROVE 4K Dual.

I recently bought Rove (on Amazon), dual channel. Working fine so far.

I bought Rove dual channel from Amazon, working great. Installed it on my own, very easy.

I use rove 4K dual. It plugs into USB-C for power, and powers on/off with the car. I am happy with the video quality.

I got the Rove 4K Dual and it works great for a pretty decent price. I paid the extra $20 to get the harness to make parking mode work while the car's off. A silly kid rear ended me last month and the footage helped speed up the claims process.

I bought a Rove 4K Dual for about $99 with 1080p front and a rear camera. Easy to use, easy to install. There have been too many close calls so if it ever comes to a collision, I want video. Of course, if I do something dumb, it's going to be on there, too, but if I have momentary insanity, I find I drive more carefully when I know I'm being watched.

I’m using it, it works great in the heat & the camera quality is pretty decent too, it also has Starvis 2 sensor (make sure you get the one with this, the others have older sensors).

I have a Rove 4k in my truck. I was able to get an accessory plug so it is powered off the rear view mirror; no running of wires. I got the Ford Thinkware dashcam for my wife's Ranger. It wires directly into OBD for continuous power which my Rove doesn't have. However Ford sells an older Thinkware that doesn't have wireless access..... Huge disappointment. There's nothing fancy about the Rove but it wasn't super expensive either

I use the ROVE R2-4K. It's a basic one camera dashcam, but has pretty good resolution. I like that it's easy to stick on the window and take off.

I have a Rove 4K dash cam in my 2013 Highlander and it works really well. I have a FitCamX in my 2020 Corolla hybrid and it works well but it doesn’t have the screen and some of the other bells and whistles of the Rove. I like that the fitcam looks factory but if you’re wanting something with a little bit more bells and whistles the Rove is nice

I use the same one works great

I got the rove r2

Yeah, half of these don't connect to WiFi (customer reporting), won't stay on, can't download unless near cam, won't power on, etc. When the reviews of negatives outweighs the positives, I'd be leery of just throwing brands out there... (Walmart? really?) Always do your own home work. I did a google search and looked at all these 'brands' (Especially the Rove R2 and RedTiger)... Just do the research, there is a lot of 'crap' out there. One way to tell; Do the housing on various models all look alike (same batch manufacturer)?

I had an issue with my Viofo not saving clips. I had an accident that it didn't capture and of course the other person lied. Took 7 months of arbitration. I got a Rove 4k instead and it's great!

I rather like my Rove R2. It was $120 and pretty easy to work with and install

I have a rove 4k and it works fine records front and back

Rove 2. It’s easy to use and reliable

I'll piggy back off what someone else said. Rove R2. Me and the wife both have them in our cars. We like them ALOT! It's like $120 bucks on Amazon, they basically do everything else the competition does. We also bought a generic mirror stem adapter for them. We have it clamped around the rear view mirror. It's flawless. Basically a set it up and leave it situation. Since our 12v plug ins are keyed to power we never have to touch it

I have a Rove R2-4K I really like. They make a Dual front and back combo I see on Amazon for $130 marked down from $200.

I have the rove 4K dash cam, mine is only forward facing but you can buy a rear one as well. It saved me in January when I had a Subaru run the a red and turn into my lane. I like the app only hard part sometimes is connecting the wifi. Other then that it does the job

Not hard at all, I just stuffed it along the airbag and went down around the passengers floor matt and up to the plug

Rove 4k for $99 and it really shoots in 4k. License plates are easy to read and night filming is really good too. I have 2. One for the front and one for the rear.

I have 2 Rove 4K Dashcams. At one point, I would leave my portable battery bank in the car to provide the camera power via USB at night because there were some thefts going on. I eventually stopped because the front camera basically ran 24/7 so it would eventually burn out because this camera when powered on will do continuous recordings.

I use rove 4k for work truck. ($75) Blackvue DR970X with 2 battery packs for ICE ($1k+). Cam runs off battery packs which charges thru cig port when the car is running.

I tried Viofo and had issues with it. Bought a Rove R2 in 2022 and then upgraded to the Rove R3 that corms with a cabin cam. Hasn’t given me any issues since.

My son has the Rove R-2 4k also. It works pretty good but I hate pulling the videos.

I've got rove cams front and rear in my truck and my wife's. Power is tapped from the mirror in both with the mentioned adapter. Auto on and off with the ignition and couldn't be happier.

Sure thing. The rove brand has an app and an SD card in the cam. You can get on the app and download footage to your phone - that was a hot seller for me.
